I love this great explanation!

Thanks to the legend who is Linda J Smith for helping me get this meme into sensible words!
ETA: It's still super normal and expected for babies to poo at least several times a week once casein increases. Some babies will still go several times a day, a few will go one a week. We just don't worry so much after 6 weeks of age, and shift more of our focus onto wet nappies, weight gain, and general baby mood / behaviour.
